Tell us about yourself and your Bernese Mountain Dog & other dogs & their names. Where did you get your dogs?

My Berner is 2 years old, and we have a 9-year-old shepherd mix as well. The Berner's name is Kodiak, and he is such a rowdy boy sometimes, but he's also very sweet. We've done training with him and he's come a long way since puppyhood! He loves to play with other dogs - especially other Berners.

What part of town do you live in? How far are you willing to travel for a Meetup?

Lakewood - I am willing to travel quite a distance, depending on the event.

Are you interested in hiking with the group? What is your preferred level of exercise? Walk/Easy, Hike/Medium, Hike/Challenging.

Yes! Very much! I would do a hike/medium and I would even try a hike/challenging after a few medium hikes. Both dogs love to hike, and my husband enjoys it as well.

Where did you find out about the Meetup group? (Formerly do you like camping.)

Yes!

Are you interested in helping plan group events. Suggestions for places to go or events to partake in are always welcome!

Yes, when I can.

Introduction

My husband Dan and I have a now-2-year-old Berner named Kodiak, and a 9-ish-year-old German Shepherd mix. Kodiak is usually the only one who goes to meets-ups though because Chief doesn't get along very well with other dogs in new situations.

This meetup is for Berner (purebred and mixed) owners, and friends (and siblings of all kinds) of Berners!

We try to arrange a mix of activities that cater to the Berner lifestyle of being outside in the mountains, and also just being social. We will provide options for all kinds of companions from serious hikers to easy strollers. We also plan dog park meetups, camping trips, pot-luck parties, and Meetups for local Colorado canine events and fundraisers.

We work hard to provide lots of different types of activities for you and your pup. We greatly appreciate donations to help us pay for the Meetup site, and other items such as site rental and networking. A donation of $5-$10 per year is greatly appreciated - you can bring this to your first event. Thank you in advance!

We hope you will consider joining us for each and every Meetup Event - but especially the Furry Scurry in May, the Wag N Trail in September, and the Olde Golden Christmas Parades and Breckenridge Processional in December. :)

Please review the RSVP information and other policies page for more details on being a part of the group. You can also edit your email settings to tailor them to your preferences.

We welcome Meetup suggestions - so please let us know if you have an idea for an activity you'd like us all to be a part of.We hope you will enjoy the time you spend with the group!
